OK, OK, OK, when I go bombing around doing errands and such, I always keep the 70-200 f2.8L and 1.4 TC on the camera. Gives me from 70 to about 300mm, before the 1.6 crop factor is taken into account. It's a generalist setup, but on form I'd rather shoot tight than wide, so that would have to do. Does that count as one lens or two?

I would have to have someone invent a 8mm to 800mm F1.4 IS USM L series cannon that sells for less than 2 grand and only weighs 6 lbs and is 5 inches long and 3 inches wide with a minumum focus distance of around 1.2 inches. There that should cover it.

No when I wake up and get off of the cloud nine, if I was limited to one lenses for ever, it would be a 28-300 L canon.

It would be a tough decision. I guess I could live without a wide angle if I had to, but a telephoto would be tough to do without. I bought a Sigma 50-500 awhile back and so far it has lived up to its reputation for being sharp but is really slow. Low light shooting is out of the question. If Sigma would increase the speed a little it would be perfect (almost) its way to heavy!

I normally go to Reeds Sporting goods in walker. I like doing business with them and if you talk to the right person you might get a deal and I have always felt that they are honest to me if they say they can't give me one. I doubt you will find any deals right now for the ION X until after season.
